High-Temperature Properties of a High-Purity Ferritic Stainless Steel

The resistance of Alloy XM-27 to a variety of high-temperature environments was investigated. The alloy was tested in cyclic and semicontinuous oxidation and sulfidizing environments, and the results were compared to conventional, heat resistant alloys. Elevated tensile and stress rupture properties and resistance to embrittlement at 482, 704, and 982°C (900, 1300, and 1800°F) were evaluated.
